THE FASHION GUIDE TO KIDS WEAR

DRESSES TO ROCK YOUR KID’S LOOK

Shopping for kids wear can really be a challenge for parents. Today’s children are more educated than ever about fashion and design. They know which trends are in, which trends are out, and which boys t shirts and footwear can make the difference when it comes down to fitting in at school.

The wedding season is here and it’s the perfect time to dress up your little brat/ angel. While you are busy shopping and making sure you look your best, don’t forget Mr or Miss junior this time round. What’s a better time to show-off your little bundle of joy than now?

Kids grow fast so keep in mind that you need to choose a size that reasonably allows this factor.

“CUTEST KID” GUARANTEED!

1.Prepare for your shopping trip by making a list and by checking sizes. An average sized 7-year-old boy will likely wear size 7 children’s clothing.

2. Healthy kids grow every day, so be sure to get their exact measurements before shopping. As each brand has its own ways of calculating body measurements, it may be best to check the official brand’s website or one of their online retailers before placing your order.

SHOP SMART!

3. Take the child with you when you go shopping. It saves time and energy because your child can try on the designer kids’ wear at the store and choose what he or she likes.

4. It’s also very important to set a budget ahead of time. It’s easy to get carried away shopping for kids wear because the outfits are just so adorable! Set aside a reasonable amount of money and stick to it.

INVEST IN SKIN-FRIENDLY AND BREATHABLE FABRICS

1. If there is one thing that you can never have enough of, it’s T-shirts. Most kids live in classic cotton T-shirts. These tops are casual and comfortable enough for everyday wear.

2. Jeans are a must have for every closet. A good pair of jeans is one of the most versatile options of clothing because depending on the colour or wash you buy, they can be dressy or casual.

ROMPERS OR ONESIES ARE GREAT TRANSITIONAL PIECES

For girls kids’ wear, dresses with decorative embellishments or appliqués are a popular choice, and there is a great variety of beautiful dresses at a range of price points. For boys clothing, choices include either a jacket and tie or a prim and proper suit. A pair of shiny Mary Jane shoes and a hair bow or hat can add the finishing touch to a young lady’s outfit, while a pair of suspenders, a bow-tie, and a pair of leather lace-up shoes can transform a little boy into a young gentleman.
